The massive tropical forest drips with both humidity and life. Amongst the endless trees that rise to form an emerald canopy, butterflies of breathtaking colors dance around vibrant flowers. The calls of many birds echo in the distance, and a few capybaras sit lazily in the shade. At the start of a narrow path is a wooden sign with the words respect and be respected and a drawing of a green eagle—the symbol of the rat druids known as the Claws of Life.
